This past Spring I was hired to photograph a few enrichment programs at Our World Montessori. Here are photographs from an enrichment day based on Trains.
The children enjoyed creating tickets by using stamps, coloring, hole punches and writing their names. They dressed up as conductors and passengers and collected tickets. They measured and planned how to build a train out of boxes. They were all so busy and engaged the whole time. I think that is what always impresses me the most. The level of concentration I see in the students, especially at such a young age.
From Our World Montessori Web site “Our Enrichment program is a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers to explore new ideas, themes and projects. Enrichment days are an option for Primary children (or alumni) who are between 3 and 6 years old. They are offered most days that our regular programs are closed due to holidays or seasonal breaks. The Enrichment program is taught by experienced Montessori teachers and is held in the Primary One classroom. ”
I find myself wanting to repeat what I said this past April, when I posted photographs from an in school field trip, “ as a parent and a person whose job requires careful observation and tapping into the moods and feelings of children, it is a joy to be in a classroom with children who are excited to be learning.”
Our World is a wonderful school!
